We love spring, but unfortunately for some of us, this season means the onset of outdoor allergies. The good news is that there are ways to prevent allergic reactions. Here are a few:

Know your triggers. Reduce your exposure to the things that trigger your reactions by paying attention to pollen levels on from your local news stations and papers, promptly remove clothes you've worn outside and rinse out your hair to reduce bringing allergens indoors, and ask for help with yard work or wear a pollen mask.

Keep indoor air clean. Using special filters on your heating and AC units or running the AC will help to reduce allergens in the home. You can also consider using a dehumidifier. Be sure to eliminate dust mites and pet dander from your home as well.

Ask us about decongestants and other allergy medicines. Speak with us before taking allergy medications. We can help you choose the right ones for you and your symptoms!
